What isekais/fantasy anime/manga/light novel has the best worldbuilding? I'm thinking multiple races, diverse ecosystems and land, dungeons, classes, kingdoms, towns, politics, shit like that. I can't get into pic related because the world doesn't feel alive without the characters
What isekais/fantasy anime/manga/light novel has the best worldbuilding? I'm thinking multiple races...

Overlord followed by Youjo. Both don't have half passed beastmen/women with ears and tales. Overlord answers all your listed content there. I recommend you read Youjo first to get into the cynical mindset. After all Overlord is brutal and spends most of its time on everything else (what you've listed) instead of immediately stomping on everything
Jordan Rodriguez
nice, will do. Thanks user
Aiden Jones
Why is aqua there?
James Cook
Overlord's author is autistic about worldbuilding, politics, etc.
Daniel Sullivan
Konosuba master race

Basically this for the current generation.
Overlord has a MUCH wider range of diversity in races and classes, but Tanya's books tend to spend as much time in conversations between other characters and nations as they do with her.

>worldbuilding
It's literally generic japanese tabletop rpg settings down to the last bit.

Look when your alternate universe is basically just every single GROBGERMANIUMSIMPERIALIS minekid Victoria 2 playthrough, I'm going to be very skeptical towards it being good or in any way original.

Ive noticed the Konosuba novels go into a lot of neat detail about how the ecosystem of monsters work as well as the food culture. They also bother going into stuff like their meals and breaks while travelling, ore how they rent wagons and sell monster parts or keep them for food. For a comedy it has a lot of effort in the details
Luis Young
Right? I know that feeling, all isekai anime feel cheap and unfinished. I always end dropping them.
As the other anons said, Overlord light novels are quite good at worldbuilding.
Lately I have been enjoying jrpgs, they can't be compared with other sources of fantasy stories. For instance, Rance series are deeper than all fantasy animes I ever watched.

Ironically, the 1996 YU-NO, but it´s flawed in character interactions.

I need a new Isekai to read. A fun one.
James Turner
12 Kingdoms had the most interesting and original worldbuilding I've ever seen in any isekai. To bad it got axed.
Matthew Evans
I liked Mushoku Tensei's the most it's nothing out of this world even a bit cliche but it's very decently executed and showcased during MCs travels. The world is basically a human world filled with races from the other 6 world who migrated after their respective worlds were destroyed by the ruler of the human plane's manipulation.

I could not get into that at all. It just felt so depressing.
Ryan Myers
What felt depressing?
Adrian Martin
His life. The god always fucking with him.
Asher Hill
Ah gotcha, though you have read most of it then, if you've reached the part with the Hitogam reveal and second fight with Orsted. He does get to lead a happy family life with a peaceful death in the end surrounded by his loved ones so it's not really all that depressing.
Joshua Clark
Oh, that's pretty good. I might pick it up again then.
John Moore
looks like the full middle earth map

Even though germany controls all of austro-hungaria it still doesn't have Alsace-Lorraine
